⁵ Then I, Daniel, looking, saw two others, one at the edge of the river on this side and one at the edge of the river on that side.

⁴ And on the twenty-fourth day of the first month I was by the side of the great river;

⁵ And lifting up my eyes I saw the form of a man clothed in a linen robe, and round him there was a band of gold, of the best gold:

⁶ And his body was like the beryl, and his face had the look of a thunder-flame, and his eyes were like burning lights, and his arms and feet like the colour of polished brass, and the sound of his voice was like the sound of an army.

¹⁰ Then a hand gave me a touch, awaking me, and putting me on my knees and my hands.

¹⁶ Then one whose form was like the sons of men put his finger on my lips; and opening my mouth, I said to him who was before me, O my lord, because of the vision my pains have come on me, and I have no more strength.
